Title:
  Unable to adjust brightness

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have an Intel NUC that's otherwise running Ubuntu 15.10 great! It's
  hooked up to a ViewSonic monitor via mini-DV / DVI.

  The brightness controls are disabled on the monitor.

  xbacklight does nothing. And I don't have the Brightness slider in
  Brightness & Lock.

  I've been poking around, and have seen where to create a file in
  xorg.conf.d. The problem is, I have an empty /sys/class/backlight dir.

  Per the following, I'm submitting a support ticket:

  https://askubuntu.com/questions/577539/dell-chromebook-11-unable-to-
  set-backlight-and-sys-class-backlight-folder-is/578497#578497

  I'd like to be able to increase the brightness on my screen.
